I am fine with summer, I don't like being cold.

I miss Texas "winter." I do not miss Alaskan winter, Albertan winter, or Upper Midwest winter.

Last weekend wasn't too bad, hot but bearable.
The weekend before, when we were moving, was brutal.

Got some decent rain yesterday & supposed to only be in the high 80s most of the week.

Looking forward to things cooling a bit & getting back to riding weather. Just too hot to be on an air-cooled V-twin right now.

I'm jealous. I could see the lighting and hear the thunder but the rain missed me.

The only good thing about summer is gardening, and even that is becoming a bit of a pain in the butt.

I'd prefer it stayed October/November all year.

We got hammered down by IAH, with multiple power losses, and some decent rain at the new house, which is only 6-7 miles from you.

We need to get the bikes out again once things cool off a bit.

It is typical summer weather in So. Az. It has been up to 112-114F for a few days, and then cooled off to 104-105F. I don't do cold.....my joints lock up, and everything hurts. I haven't lived in a cold climate for many decades now, and don't plan to change. Our winters are paradise......70-80sF.

Here in Colorado we have 4 distinct seasons, although sometimes a few of them occur within the same day.

I'm fine with each season and try to make the most of each one. There are year round options here for outdoor activities.

I don't miss Christmas that much as "Merry Movie Week" has been going on since last week on Hallmark channel.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

I actually like spring/summer/early fall in north Texas, and hate the cold. Yep, it's fucking hot in July. You can't do much outside in the midday sun. Once you learn this simple lesson, you'll get along pretty well. Virtually everything is AC'd. Spent some time in Hibbing one year and good god I was marriable. The only thing you're doing outside is shoveling snow and scrapping ice off of your windshield if you don't keep your car in a garage. There's a few odd balls that play pick up hockey on the local pond, and there's also those that bust through the ice to get into icy waters showing their toughness. Give me a bit of sweat, rather than my balls freezing off and needing a full kit of parker, gloves, boots, scarf etc just to check the mail.

I suppose I could live anywhere I wanted to live. My one daughter lives in PA and my wife is from there.

We were up there for 3 weeks and it varied from too cool to almost warm.

The other one lives in Houston and I am spending a couple weeks with her in October. She says it'll be nice. Hope that means 80s or above.

I live in the TampaBay area and it is hot here. I love it. Can't stand the cold weather and sure ain't gonna live where there's snow (I've seen it-I didn't like it).

In the winter here, it sometimes drops onto the 40s at night. No problem, I just stay inside till it is decent outside again.

Literally went from 40’s and rain to 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. I’m loving it after the month of May that had just TWO hours of temps above 70.

While 90+ isn’t really necessary as far as I am concerned I do NOT miss winter or our normal drab, dismal, drizzle, wind, and rain. I could could sunny and 70-95 for 6 months straight at this point.


Being in the same 'hood ... I agree.

What I don't like is people initiating threads like this without any indication of their physical location. I am guessing it is probably hotter in Florida and Arizona right now than in Minnesota or Alaska. Knowing where the comments are coming from might give appropriate context to statements about being "too hot."


I'm in Arizona and it's definitely not too hot. I left Alaska because I got tired of shoveling snow 8 or 9 months a year. At least I don't have to shovel sunshine.

Not me. Summer was a long time coming, and spring kinda porpoised, sunny and warm one day, windy and cool the next.

I lived in the Petoskey area of the northern lower peninsula for 25 years. It was popular to say that summer was just two weeks of really shitty skiing.

I love summer and the long daylight hours and being able to stay outside longer. The short daylight hours during winter get very depressing, long, long nights.To me the only saving grace winter has is no insects. A Virginian posting this.
